Asymmetry--where evolutionary and developmental genetics meet.

BioEssays : news and reviews in molecular, cellular and developmental biology - 1 Oct 1996

Batterham P, Davies A G, Game A Y, McKenzie J A

Abstract excerpt

The mechanisms responsible for the fine tuning of development, where the wildtype phenotype is reproduced with high fidelity, are not well understood. The difficulty in approaching this problem is the identification of mutant phenotypes indicative of a defect in these fine-tuning control mechanisms. Evolutionary biologists have used asymmetry as a measure of developmental homeostasis. The rationale for this was...
